I hope so too.  It certainly was a great way to cool their body temp down when the mercury was in the 100's.

Yes I know that "they" say chickens can't swim.  Or chickens will only float for a few minutes and then their feathers will become sodden and they will sink.  Well I'm here to let you know that their feathers may become wet and sodden, but they will not sink.  They will float, swim and flap.  They ❤LOVE❤ the pool!  So who are "they" anyway?? wink

Hello, I'm leading a group of San Diego County residents who are trying to fight a new rooster ordinance. Would it be ok if I used a few of these photos for our kids with chickens section on our facebook?

Thank you!

Absolutely!  Go for it!  Feel free to check out my blog  Here.  There are plenty of pictures of my kids interacting with their hens in a loving touching way.  Feel free to use any of those as well!  Please just give my "blog" recognition if possible.  Also, could you provide me the facebook page so I can check it out myself and offer my support?

Thanks!  Kelly

"Suddenly a voice said, 'Go forth neighbor,

spread the picture on a wider screen.'
And the voice said, 'Neighbor there's a million reasons
why you should be glad in all four seasons.
Hit the road neighbor leave your worries and strife,
Spread the religion of the rhythm of life!' "
